This 10m Lidar unit detects vehicles in front of the car and, if that vehicle is sensed to have slowed or stopped too quickly, Active City Brake automatically applies the brakes.

DS3 and DS3 Cabrio models now also have a rear-view camera — on a seven-inch screen with sat-nav — and parking sensors as standard.

The revised DS3 range launches in mid-April. We’re attending the media launch around that time and will bring you a review at that time. Full pricing and specifications will be available around that time.
